Umm, this is exactly what I meant by "tossing the conditionals". ;-)
Sorry if that wasn't clear. That DUMB_ROUTER option has to vanish anyway,
obviously -- (a) it's not set anywhere, (b) there may be no such thing as a
dumb router in the Internet. It's not healthy. Either you're a smart router
or you don't route. End of disscussion. IMnsHO.
